I agree.

I absolutely prefer branch prefixes (ex. [feature|fix]/foo) and the final merge clearly group and makes obvious what we are talking about.

Git Flow has sane defaults about this:

The only execption I found for the commit prefixes is when a project has specific areas that need to be easily spotted in the logs, ex. multiple themes.
